I'm at my wit's end. I've read countless posts on these forums and tried anything and everything I can think of. I'm quite the newbie when it comes to linux so this is starting to get rather frustrating. Can anyone give me any idea as to what I need to do to get this working?!

*Note* I forgot to mention before that I've added the line alias eth0 nvnet to modules.conf.

In all cases your error reporting is not enough. When it says

*** [nvnet.o] Error 1

it means the true error message is one or more lines above, and this error message is really necessary to help you out on this one ;-)

Give me a few minute pixelxeno and I'll get back to you with the full error message. :)

Ok, so that was far more than a few minutes. At any rate, there are a ton of warning messages with both the SRPM and the tar file. I couldn't begin to type them all here. The bottom line is I'm getting exactly the same type of errors that everyone else has been posting about and none of the solutions that have been posted have worked for me.

:(

I suspect that the audio part of the nforce driver from nvidia is taking you down on this one. Try going into the "nvnet" subdirectory and doing a single "make" there. It should compile fine. Then, do make install.

The nforce driver from nvidia has yet a poor installation method. Maybe they'll come with a better installation system, like they do with the NVidia GLX driver.

In all cases, I think you can safely take the tarball and not the srpm because you only want the nvnet part of the driver.

I tried going into just the nvnet directory with the tarball. I did:

make clean
make
make install

This didn't work. =/

Still with a huge error message too big to be pasted here?

No, it's not that it's too big to be pasted here... it's just that I can't get any networking set up, therefore I can't connect to the internet in order to access this forum. I would just copy/paste the error into a .txt file and throw it on a floppy, but the box doesn't have a floppy drive. I'm in quite a pickle. :/

I'd same problems with Mandrake, but after I installed kernel sources from install cd, I managed to install nforce drivers from SRPM.
